No, not at all.
He did it with electrodes not on my head. Temperature, pulse, respiration, etc. And he gave me a thermometer to practice on at home. I was to focus on relaxing my body, regulating my breathing, and lowering my body temperature by lowering my physiological arousal.
Then he'd get mad because when he walked in the room, all my indicators would go haywire. :)
I think it would have been really helpful if I could have kept it up. I should add that although he insisted on doing CBT with the biofeedback, he was associated with a medical facility, I got the referral from my migraine neurologist, and the emphasis was on the physical.
(How can she tell you're having negative thoughts?)
